The Fresh Market Inc. opened its 160th store April 7 at 4925 PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This will bring the retailer’s total stores in Florida to 47 locations.
A grand opening celebration featuring a “bread breaking” ceremony, vendor sampling, specialty presentations, giveaways and drawings will be held on April 13 to officially welcome the Palm Beach Gardens guests to The Fresh Market.
The 24,000 square feet store will offer a center store culinary kitchen and Roasting Plant Coffee. Customers will have an array of freshly prepared delicacies in front of them – from barbeque, roasts, brick-oven pizza, made-to-order smoothies, sandwiches, salads, sushi and tacos. Guests can also enjoy a selection of specialty coffee, roasted in the store throughout the day. This in-store experience is similar to the layout of the company’s flagship store in Greensboro, North Carolina, that reopened last fall.
“We’re proud to join the Palm Beach Gardens community and provide guests with an inspired, unique shopping experience that will pique the interest of food lovers,” said Jason Potter, CEO of The Fresh Market. “Our merchandising team has been working closely with Florida farmers and suppliers for the freshest produce and favorite guest items, and our center store culinary kitchen with fresh sushi and menu favorites like barbeque and brick-oven pizza, will certainly be able to answer the age-old question, ‘what’s for dinner tonight?'”
A selection of whole or fresh-cut fish, shellfish and live lobster will be available, provided by The Fresh Market’s own fish houses. Upon request, the store will steam guests’ seafood selection in-store and will offer dry aging for preferred meat cuts as well.
The Palm Beach Gardens store will have close to 100 local items in the produce department that are from about 15-20 area farms on opening week. In addition, the produce department will offer many more local items throughout the season from close to 50 farmers.
“For 40 years, The Fresh Market continues to offer a European market atmosphere with a show of fresh-cut flowers when entering the store, aromas of the freshest brewed coffee, a special curated selection of produce and groceries to choose from and greetings from the friendliest employees,” Potter said. “We believe this store will soon become the “go-to” destination for people in the Palm Beach area to help make their everyday meals extraordinary.”
Guests will also be able to sign up and start saving with The Fresh Market’s recently launched Ultimate Loyalty Experience. Members will receive rewards and exclusive savings on high quality products. To learn more about The Fresh Market’s loyalty program from The Shelby Report, click here.
